UNSPSC 30101717: Concrete beams

UNSPSC 30101717 Concrete beams (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. State and local governments use this code to procure precast, prestressed concrete structural members for bridge, infrastructure, and building projects, but the recent opportunities block contains only one procurement directly requesting concrete beams: the Washington State Department of Transportation's April 2026 solicitation for 10 precast prestressed concrete WF42G girders for the I-90 Hansen Road Overcrossing. The remaining fourteen opportunities in the block are unrelated to concrete beams — they span roof replacement, sidewalk construction, drainage rehabilitation, water tank coating, traffic control, and general facility repairs. The mismatch signals that the code sees limited deployment in state and local procurement, or that issuing bodies are tagging tangentially related work (concrete pads, foundations, structural concrete work) under this commodity code despite the specificity of the UNSPSC definition.

The one representative concrete-beam opportunity comes from Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), which issued a Request for Quotes and Qualifications on April 15, 2026, due May 12, 2026, for 10 precast prestressed concrete wide flange girders with a 104.6-foot span for bridge replacement. Eligible manufacturers are limited to firms on WSDOT's Qualified Products List: Concrete Technology Corporation (Tacoma, Washington) and Knife River Prestress (Harrisburg, Oregon, and Newman Lake, Washington). Delivery is the bidder's responsibility between mid-September and October 31, 2026. WSDOT applies a minimum 5 percent price preference for products free of hydrofluorocarbons, recycled content, or mercury-added materials. This procurement is a one-time purchase with no minimum guarantee and no incumbent designation. Broader activity under the code is not evident from recent state and local solicitations; pursuit of opportunities depends on manufacturing capability, prequalification on state DOT supplier lists, and specialized structural design and certification.
